Is the play food and "accessories" that come with it enough? Or should I plan on purchasing something separate. Any recs?

I love this kitchen set and have had it for 3 years. Still a hit with my granddaughter. . . .I have never seen another set that measures up to this one. Having said that. . I still do think you need to purchase some additional things. . . . We bought a better set of dishes that had plates, bowls, cups, forks, spoons, and knives in four different colors. . .I didn't like the beige set that came with the kitchen. Also we bought more food and a basket of vegetables and fruits. . . she loves to play grocery store and this has been a good addition.

You should buy extra..I buy new ones once a year and throw the bad ones away....be sure to wash them every 3 months..I put them in the tub with bleach and let them sit..

I bought this for my son at 18 months. He loves it! We also bought the play food to go with it. Enjoy!

One bag is good but have two on hand. You would want playsand available at Toys R Us.

Hey Ralph, for such a large purchase like that, you might want to contact Big Mouth Toys directly. Do a quick google search and you'll find all of their info!

I got the plastic case which all the toys are packed inside. I think you should contact amazon customer service

The play food is NOT included, but it is available for purchase. The best play food was the "farmers market" that includes the baskets which are color coordinated for the different foods. My grandson absolutely loves this. He always wants to "cook" these for me.

I would say get 2 boxes worth, one to play with, and the other for when the first is spread all over the house, lol! I would suggest some sort of sand box through for it to be played in, just like normal sand bits of this get all over! It is far cleaner and lots more fun then normal sand though.

I purchased this kitchen close to 2 years ago but if I remember correctly, it comes with it own set of pots and pans, a supply of play food and metal slotted spoons and other utensils. It also includes a stool and a phone. My boys love this kitchen and its big enough for the both of them (ages 2.5 & 3.5) to play in together.

So the way I looked at it EVERYONE has one (or both) of the other two. Especially the leapfrog one. I didn't think my daughter would use it if she had the same one at daycare and every play date. Also she loves loves balls and still (at 16 months) watches them go down the legs and sings to the songs.This table also has different (new) songs. I find that leapfrog reuses the same songs on everything she has and so does fisher price. I would pay good money for NEW music on toys!! :)

Sure... I got the package as an inexpensive alternative to fill my daughter's play kitchen. There is a lot of play plastic food (although, I think, too much junk food!) The little cardboard boxes of food are super flimsy and a little smaller than I thought. I had to throw some away and tape some up the same day we opened it. I think there are sturdier options out there but for the price, not a terrible option

any of the disney sets that can you buy at the disney store are great! we have no furniture and my girls have been playing w/ this for 2 years! having it up on a table made a difference for us after they lost interest in it on the floor

My son is 3 years old and has played with it every day since Christmas day. He thinks he is a chef. I had bought pots, fake foods, plates and utensils for him to get the full use out of the kitchen. He seems to like it enough to play with it. He is tall and I thought this would be an issue but it's pretty perfect for him, no complaints at all. Good luck.

We bought it with the bedroom, living room and kitchen furniture. We also bought the baby stuff (highchair, car seat, little chair), the barbeque set and the van. I think the van is a must. my 4 1/2 year old daughter and 2 year old son fight over the van. It plays music and they both love it. My daughter uses the baby accessories set but doesn't do much with the barbecue set. You will definitely have a full house of furniture with what comes with it. I was considering the set with pets but a dog came with a different one-- the van I think? And she is fine with that.

I just recently bought one at a thrift store and it had no accessories...I called the customer service at Fisher Price.com and was able to order the trash can, the pot, and spoon. The toy is no longer sold...they did not have the shapes.

No, there was no food. just 2 pots, 1 skillet, 3 lids, the 4 utensils. If you are going to buy food separately, look for the kind that has velcro in the middle. My kids love "cutting" the fruits and veggies, plus those kind have a decent amount of detail. The pots are pretty big, so play food actually fits in them.

Standard Play and Charge Kit. I have both now and it charges more reliably and faster. Also the batteries seem to last much longer.
